Throwing things at people from your car.

    When I was 17 or so myself and a few chums used to launch water baloons and Mcdonalds milkshakes at people from our car. Can't say I'm proud of this but nevertheless it was great fun at the time. Of course most missed and we even drenched ourselves a fair bit but when you got someone square in the face with a milkshake it was priceless.

    Disclaimer: This activity is abhorrent and I do not condone it.

    It's not only abhorrent it's also assault and you should have been charged for it!
    Not to mention dangerous driving (and I assume you were L-plated at the time).

    I'm sure the nurse who lost an eye after being hit by an egg thrown from a moving car also thinks it's priceless, and great fun.

    Only scumbags do this kind of thing.

    When your next car insurance renewal drops through the letter box, please remember, this is what you are paying for.

    I agree thats why I said its abhorrent. Milkshakes for sure could do damage. Not sure about water balloons though.

    I was stupid and immature, that can't be denied, but I did have a great laugh doing it.

    Thank God they don't have as easy access to guns here. Although there's always pellet guns and airsoft rifles. At least the OP didn't resort to that.

    Morgan offered €10,000 to Ms Doody as compensation but this was turned down by Ms Doody. He was ordered to pay the €10,000 to the Society of St Vincent de Paul and the Peter McVerry Trust

    Jesus an eye is only worth ten grand.

    Someone threw a water balloon at my granny like that and she ended up stopping going outside as a result.

    It's complete a**hole behaviour and it's genuinely physical assault!

    Do it to the wrong person and they follow up and you could find yourself in front of a judge and possibly a civil action to bankrupt you too.

    I'd get your number plate pretty f*cking sharpish and have you in the small claims courts paying for destroying my clothes.

    Throwing rubbish in the street is a vile act. From a car even worse. From a car and trying to hit someone is truly repugnant.

    Pellet guns are a firearm and subject to the same licence process

    At the other side of that coin, a few years ago I was parked up when a burger hit my car at speed. Gave a dangerous chase to a white Glanza through Cahir and the surrounding countryside but a wrecked 1.4 astra could do little more than just keep up. Gave up trying to close the gap and just drove around for the day before going home. Just as stupid, looking back imo.

    Your username is perfect for that post!

    If your that immature then you shouldn't be driving a car tbh, everyone is stupid when they are younger, we often said stupid stuff to pedestrians, never insulted them or anything, just innocent stuff. If one of my passengers threw something at a pedestrian then I would have stopped the car and ****ed them out on the side if the road tbh before going back to apologise and see if the victim was okay.

    Jesus an eye is only worth ten grand.

    According to the school insurance form, if my son loses an eye he gets 50,000. I rather my eye myself, but 10,000 goes nowhere these days. Her med bills would nearly be that.

    Well that makes it ok so. If you happen to get picked on by a few scumbags who rob you blind and then pound you into the concrete so hard that you need your skull glued back together, presumably that too will be ok if they have a great laugh doing it, as that seems to you to be an acceptable justification for assault.
